Tastes
A taste for adventure and discovery runs through all eight generations of Whitley Neill family tree. So it should not come as a surprise that at the turn of the century, Frederick Neill was on a journey through Asia, where he discovered the fragrant and citrus injected lemon grass.

Lemongrass, there is a popular ingredient in local delicacies, was mixed with heating ginger as well as a number of exotic herbs and spices, giving Whitley Neill Lemongrass & Ginger Gin its characteristic, fragrant, citrus-like taste. A handmade gin of outstanding quality with a taste that is as rich as its ancestor.

Whitley Neill Gin is made of a 100% grainspirit that is completed with botany before it is distilled in a beautiful antique copper pot, still called ‘Constance’, which is over 100 years old.

Only the purest water is used and each of the nine botanist is carefully selected to ensure that they are of the highest quality. Whitley Neills Tagline “Crafted from the Life of Life” goes a long way in describing what these botany can be.

By gathering a mix of innovative botanists such as gooseberry and baobab fruit to its range, it also has other more traditional botanical items such as juniper, coriander, lemon and orange peel, Angelica root, Cassia Bark and Orris Rod.

The Creator Johnny Neill says it reflects his fresh views from the 21st century, while also refers to the Ginna’s heritage and the London-based gin distillation experience that is in use at the distillery.
